Actually, I was thinking of option 3)
This is what was going through the back of my mind (I should have made it more clear):
3) The homosexual community was putting so much pressure on Sullivan due to the marriage issue that Sullivan had to back down from supporting Bush altogether.
If option 3) was correct then Sullivan should have stuck to his guns because the War on Terror is a much more important issue.
Sullivan is a brilliant writer (only Wretchard is better). IMHO, the homosexual thing only distracts Sullivan from more important topics. He needs to rise above it.
